Two Corner Track

 I laid a track for Zoe this past Sunday. I decided ahead of time to have 2 right angle left turns and that each of the 3 legs would be 100 paces long and we would age it 15 minutes.
Zoe is really liking this game she eagerly approaches the start scent pad, lays down and sniffs all around.

 When she's done her sniffing she points in the direction she wants to go. I've been working with her to wait for me to say those two magic words "Find It"

 And then she's off like a shot. On this track there was a bit of a wind from our left to right. You can just see in this photo a small hill in the upper right corner. The scent was being sucked into this hill so Zoe tracked to the right of the actual track.

 But she knew exactly when to come back to the track and pick up those bits of food. It was nice to see. This is the indicator for me that there is a corner coming in about 10 paces. Zoe circled once when she came to the end of the scent then moved in the correct direction.

 She's seen here approaching the second corner flag. On this leg of the track she stayed almost right on the line. The wind was in her face.

On this corner Zoe had a little bit of a hard time finding that scent again. Lots of encouragement and a few circles around me and then she found it!

And there it was, the article at the end. Lots of drive to get to it, we need to work on our indication though. We're having a great time with this new past time for Zoe.

Good Girl, Exercise done!
